Bayern Munich hand Arsenal transfer blow ahead of January transfer window amid Liverpool battle

The transfer race for Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram will intensify over the course of the next month as his current contract expires in 2023. Thuram has attracted plenty of interest from Europe's top clubs and will be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of Germany in January.

Thuram, 25, is currently in Qatar with the France national team for the World Cup after being named as a late addition to Didier Deschamps' squad. The striker is second choice behind Kylian Mbappe after Karim Benzema's injury but has only featured for 28 minutes.

Son of French defender Lillian Thuram, the Gladbach striker has scored 12 goals and added four assists this season with only Chelsea target Christopher Nkunku scoring more goals in Germany. His fine form in front of goal has seen Arsenal and Liverpool linked, but the Gunners have been handed a huge blow.
